tfttf431 – Leo goes China – Tech Guy

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgLeo’s calling out to Chris for help of what to pack for his trip to China. Leo’s bringing along his Canon 5D Mk. II for this once in a lifetime trip. Will he be with photographers? Only amateurs. How much can he comfortably carry all day? Leo has a backpack and the LowePro Slingshot. But he’s limited to 10 pounds on carry on. Chris suggests a good walk around lens like Leo’s F1.2 50mm as it will force Leo to be creative in photo composition.

tfttf430 – Too much light – Tech Guy

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgWhat to do when you have too much light. Use a short shutter speed. Although, that tends to lead to “frozen” moments. The other thing you can do is make the aperture really small (called “stopping down”). The downside of that is everything is in focus – even the background.

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgChris is back from Nepal. He was there for about 3 weeks and took about 4,000 pictures. The beauty though with digital is you can weed them out as you go. He bought two 80GB hard discs, specified for over 18,000 feet to store them on.
